Gsm phones are easier, since there is only an APN that rarely needs to be adjusted. It usually works out of the box. CDMA phones however have an extra setting that can be adjusted either through the phone&#39;s internal PST (##778 or other code) or through CDMA Workshop or QPST(MIP/PPP settings). </p>

&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; Then don&#39;t tell tmobile, because I&#39;m using it occasionally without<br>&gt;&gt; paying...<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Now it might be possible that the flagship phones (ie the ones that<br>&gt;&gt; retail for 450+) have it enabled, but the smaller android phones do<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; worth it. CyanogenMod has worked really well for me -- rock solid --<br>&gt;&gt; and no<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; bugs that I&#39;ve found with my usage. And tethering is built in. And so<br>&gt;&gt; is<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; using your phone as a hotspot for up to 5 other computers.<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; Here&#39;s the documentation from the meetup on the process that worked<br>&gt;&gt; for<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; kinda<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; needed a name since people had to talk about it.<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; And Cyanogenmod is the name of a customized version of Android.<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; Cyanogen<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; is the handle of the coder who started the project, though now<br>&gt;&gt; many,<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; many people contribute to it!<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; Just out of curiosity, what exactly does &quot;rooting&quot; do?<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; In this context, you need to be root to modify the routing table<br>
